[EquisMetaStock Group] How to backtest using more-than-1-min-interval data on EST?

[Agustinus Utama <matematikaitb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear MetaStock Users,

 

I am looking for help. I cannot backtest more than 1 min interval chart
using Enhanced System Tester. I am a day trader not swing trader. So that
my intention is to backtest using 5/15/30 min data, given 1 min ascii data from

http://www.forexite.com/free_forex_quotes/forex_history_arhiv.html.
Currently I am metastock 8.0 user.

 

I have been tryring to convert 1 mnt ASCII data to 5/15/30 min using The Downloader.
The result is poor. I have just dashes everywhere. They are not complete candlesticks.

I don't understand why equis doesnot put capability to process more than 1 min data directly on its Enhanced System Tester. They really PUT this capability for indicators while you can browse easily from 1 to 5/10/15/30min, etc charts.

 

Please, I am completely desperate. Any sugestion would be appreciated.
I hope somebody could trick this issue by functioning 5 1-min data to be
O(5), H(5), L(5), C(5) for getting 5 min O,H,L,C from 1 min O,H,L,C....
Then I just do backtesting as usual....:)

 

Sincerely,
Agustinus Utama
